Lidocaine patches (Lidoderms) often have to be placed carefully. I have found that placing them over the nerves where you think you feel pain, can fail.

Try placing them higher...in the lower back on the side of the pain. This works
better for me for 90% of my issues. This numbing then interrupts the signals before they get to the spine or nerve roots.
